paragraph (1) shall not occur until the date
designs for all energy-using systems of the
building are completed, or
``(ii) the expenses taken into account
under paragraph (1) shall be a fraction of such

requirements of such Standard 90.1-1999.
``(C) The expenditures in connection with the
design of subsystems in the building, such as the
envelope, the heating, ventilation, air conditioning
and water heating system, and the lighting system shall
be allocated to the appropriate building subsystem
based on system-specific energy cost savings targets in
regulations promulgated by the Secretary of Energy
which are equivalent, using the calculation
methodo
2000
logy, to the whole building requirement of 50
percent savings.
``(D) The calculational methods under this
paragraph need not comply fully with section 11 of such
Standard 90.1-1999.
``(E) The calculational methods shall be fuel
neutral, such that the same energy efficiency features
shall qualify a building for the deduction under this
section regardless of whether the heating source is a
gas or oil furnace or an electric heat pump.
``(F) The calculational methods shall provide
appropriate calculated energy savings for design
methods and technologies not otherwise credited in
either such Standard 90.1-1999 or in the 1998
California Nonresidential ACM Manual, including the
following:
``(i) Natural ventilation.
``(ii) Evaporative cooling.

including reductions in static pressure.
``(vii) Advanced unloading mechanisms for
mechanical cooling, such as multiple or
variable speed compressors.
``(viii) The calculational methods may take
into account the extent of commissioning in the
building, and allow the taxpayer to take into
account measured performance which exceeds
typical performance.

``(A) In general.--Any calculation under this
subsection shall be prepared by qualified computer
software.
``(B) Qualified computer software.--For purposes of
this paragraph, the term `qualified computer software'

and the deduction allowed under this section,
and
``(iii) which provides a notice form which
summarizes the energy efficiency features of
the building and its projected annual energy
costs.
``(4) Allocation of deduction for public property.--In the
case of energy-efficient commercial building property installed
on or in public property, the Secretary shall promulgate a
regulation to allow the allocation of the deduction to the
person primarily responsible for designing the property in lieu
of the public entity which is the owner of such property. Such
person shall be treated as the taxpayer for purposes of this
section.
``(5) Notice to owner.--The qualified individual shall
provide an explanation to the owner of the building regarding
the energy efficiency features of the building and its
projected annual energy costs as provided in the notice under
paragraph (3)(B)(iii).
